Recipe For Gnocchi

I love new challenges, and for me this was one of them. I have never eaten gnocchi. I know for a lover of all things Italian, this sounds strange but there is a story to this. When my mom was younger my gran made gnocchi for supper. My mother, not liking them, hid them under the Persian carpet, and took her plate through to the kitchen. When my gran came to clean the table, she stood on all of them! And so, my mom never made gnocchi, and we never ate them. Now, my mom has decided she likes them, and Dave had some while he was in East London. So Dave came home and suggested I make gnocchi for supper. Easier said than done – I had no clue what the end result should be like.

I am passionate about using regional, seasonable and sustainable produce when I cook. I live in Gordons Bay with my husband and dogs. Dave and I are busy building a house which is an adventure all in itself. Each year we visit a new place overseas to experience the food of the area. Follow along on our adventures!

Farina di grano duro – or 00 flour is finer than common cake flour. Depending on where you live you should be able to find this at any good delicatessen. In Somerset West the Spar at Lions Square keeps stock. Giovanni’s in Sea Point also stocks this. Let me know where you live so I can try and help with stores that may stock it.
